Macroscopic structure depends upon microscopic structure.
Fluorite (CaF2) Amethyst (SiO2) – quartz+ Fe & Mn
Pyrite (FeS2, fool’s gold)
Crystal terms• Crystal – • Lattice – • Unit cell – • Edge length (do) –
corner
edgeface
• Atoms and ions are represented by spheres.• The spheres stack in different patterns three-
dimensionally.• The close packing of spheres maximizes intermolecular
force.• The patterns of stacking result in different types of unit
cells and lattices.
